Thursday was an eventiul day for the

drawn its lot to drill that morning in
competition for the grand prize. 1t be-

long and difficult but the ''baby" company

programme and there were some errors in

passed several in its field movements.

great Ueal OF uuty IN the camp and the
men were not confined so closely.
Saturday night, at II O'clock, the com

special train, and after an uneyentful trip
reached Raleigh at 2 30 o'clock Sunday
afternoon.
The Governors Guard will never forget
Camp George Washington and its tour of
cuty there. The men behaved admirably,
made friends by the score and gathered a
great deal of valuable information. Capt
Engelhard was charmed with Gen Ord

as with the other officers at headquarters.
Everything was admirably managed and
surely not one of the eighty companies
present had the least cause for complaint

The winners Of the great prize were the

What remarkable man is jefferson
Davis. He has lived to witness the death
of nearly all of his contemporary res under
the old government, and has seen large
ma jOrity of his traducers consigned to the
grave, and yet he lives on and not only
does not lag superfluous on the stage, but
retains to a wonderful degree the brilliant
and vigorous intelligent which has charac
terized his remarkable career Whenever
a proper occasion offers he is heard from,
and when he has put in his blow he retireS
gracefully until another call is made upon
him. His latest speech to the Southern

the Union, and next tine it is broken the
attemnt must be made from another quar-

There were in the audience the mother

Capt. Shotwell he was unjustly imprison-

Our esteemed contemporary, the Raleigh
News and Observer, gives us a foretaste
of the commencement ball season in its
report of the Pittsboro railroad celebration
ball last week. Miss Possie Hilderbrand
wore pink surah, trimmed with passament-
cry; diamonds. Miss Puggie Highhead,
blue silk, old gold lace; pearls. One can
stand this thing, after fashion, in com
mencement season. We take it then in
the daily newspapers as one of the una
voidables along with house flies and hot
weather; along with ''these classic walls, "
and "Where is Greece7' and "Where is
Rome?" along with dust, perspiration and
weak lemonade; along with the screaming
eagle and the self sufficient marshal in his
pink and blue regalia with white rosette
But We respectfully protest against being
visited in May with any of these cruel and
unusual punishments.

a quart of mosquitoes are taken from the
globes every morning. At the least calcu

ABOLISH THE PENITEN FIARY.

The STATE CHRONICLE is right in its po-
sitiOn on the State Prison. 1t is beyond
our comprehension to see the justice in
compelling the honest people of the State
to feed, clothe, teach, educate, doctor,
keep in sickness and in health each con-
victed rascal at public hotel from three
to ten years, at a cost to the tax payers OF
from $500 to $500 each. Thirty-nine
lashes put on once month for three
months with hand saw or buggy trace,
each thief's back will be a clear gain to the
State as we'll as to each individual, say
81 900 in each case. Put fellow in State
bonds for ten years, it will cost the State
81 800 to keep him, and he loses his labor
and the State loses his labor for that period
worth at least to each 81, 500. This is all
wrong Everybody knows it. And yet
we retain the institution and support it by
taxation. Scotland Neck Democrat.
SELL THE PENITENTIARY AND
PUNISH CRIME.
There is something wrong surely in the
management of the state Pepltentiary.
If not, why the frequent efforts to escape,
and sometimes with success, and the in
subordinaton of the rascalsP The kid
glove treatment will not answer. The
Raleigh STATE CHRONICLES suggestion is
not a bad one-1o sell out. The ''Pen" is
a Northern importation, brought in with
the other pests and destructiyes-ihS re
morsless earpet-baggers. North Carolina
never liked the '.institution'' and never
will. Il is no punishment to great shaw
buck thief and scoundrel to contine him
at night, & wing him good quarters and
plenty of appetizing grub with a due
allowance of tobacco. He must work any
way, and this he does after a fashion
when a convict. The Pen has already
cost the State millions. 1t will grow, for
criminals are increasing in number, if
crime is lessening as it 10 liaimed by some
of the Judges.
The probabilityis is that in ten years more
the honest white people of North Carolina
will be taxed million and half to take
care of the meanest rascals that infest So
ciety. The promise now ix that this will
continue indefinitely until ''the crack of
doom"
Why should good citizens be taxed to
feed and clothe and shelter the house
breakers, robbers and thieves! Would it not
be wiser step to close up the home of
racallly and depravity and convert it into
some useful purposel Why not. Because
Garnet -bapaery aided and abetted by seal
lawagery, chose to foist great elephant
upon the tax payers, is that any reason
why the animal should continue to be
pampered and made sleek and rebellious?
We really think that it would be a
proper and economic step to close up the
penitentiary and return either to the
whipping post for stealing or devise some
more deterring punishment for the smaller
